Lu Yan's smile did not change, but his eyes turned cold: "It makes me so sad that you are so cold."
The two of them faced off silently, and the sunlight seemed to dim a lot.
Shen Zhinian changed her clothes, always paying attention to the situation outside, pursed her lips and looked serious.
"The two of them are brothers no matter what, and there won't really be any conflicts. Don't think too much about it." Su Mang saw his friend's worries and comforted him thoughtfully: "Besides, Lu Yan is very smooth, so why would he conflict with Lu Jingchuan? "
"Really?" Shen Zhinian was skeptical and quickly changed his clothes and planned to go out.
Su Mang grabbed her arm, widened his eyes and reminded in a low voice, "What are you doing out now?"
"Then let them reminisce about the past?" Shen Zhinian asked back unconfidently. Lu Jingchuan's face was not very good-looking when he left just now. Going out now to admit his mistake might be able to minimize the conflict.
Before Su Mang could react, Shen Zhinian had already taken off her hand and walked out.
She looked in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and oh, Lu Jingchuan and Lu Yan were still standing in suits and ties against the bright sun. No one could tell that this was not a relaxed atmosphere reminiscing about old times.
Shen Zhinian ran down in small steps and went straight to Lu Jingchuan. He raised a professional smile and said, "Mr. Lu, the sun is too strong here. Why don't you go in and sit down?"
"I'm your guest now?" Lu Jingchuan asked with a frown.
The show of goodwill was regarded as a provocation. Shen Zhinian pursed his lips in grievance and braced himself to explain: "Mr. Lu misunderstood."
Unexpectedly, Lu Yan interrupted and said provocatively: "This island is my property, why are you not considered a guest?"
The tense atmosphere between the two of them caused even Hai Feng to take a detour. Su Mang raised her eyes in surprise, but she didn't expect that the relationship between the two was more awkward than she imagined.
Lu Jingchuan glanced sideways at Shen Zhinian and suddenly asked, "Is this why you went out with him on the weekend? Because there is an island?"
"What? No, I came out with Su Mang, and this is my private trip. There should be no need to report to Mr. Lu." Shen Zhinian was dissatisfied with his pressing, and added in a low voice after explaining. One sentence.
To Lu Jingchuan's ears, it sounded like it was trying to cover up, and the description became darker and darker.
His silent eyes swept over the two of them, and he suddenly said: "This island is mine now."
"Huh?" Su Mangren was confused.
I saw Lu Jingchuan had already taken out the card and handed it to Shen Zhinian: "Go and do it."
"Not for sale." Lu Yan retorted.
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Shen Zhinian quickly stood between the two to stop them. This time, the object of the dissuasion was Lu Yan, and smiled at him: "It seems that Mr. Lu still needs my assistance for official business, I'm afraid I can't continue. Relax, President Xiao Lu and Su Mang are having fun."
Lu Yan looked down at her eyes that implied begging, softened his heart, and took a step back: "Then you are busy with business, and I will contact you when you have time."
After speaking, he looked deeply at Lu Jingchuan and turned to leave.
Su Mang was worried about Shen Zhinian and wanted to stay, but Shen Zhinian just gestured for her to leave.
So only Shen Zhinian and Lu Jingchuan were left in the narrow corridor.
Shen Zhinian took a deep breath, turned around and looked up at Lu Jingchuan: "Mr. Lu, how are your cooperation talks going? They should all be waiting for you."
There was a crowd of people following him just now, probably all of them had gone to the hotel.
Lu Jingchuan lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on her open collar, and walked back with a cold snort.
Not knowing where he offended this living Buddha again, Shen Zhinian followed him without saying a word. At the same time, he took out his mobile phone to confirm his itinerary and basically read the background of the visitor.
In the hotel conference room, several collaborators were leaning back comfortably on their chairs, chatting and laughing. Gao Qian was waiting on them with tea and water, and occasionally had to deal with their questions.
"When will Mr. Lu come over? Our time is not free."
Someone said something dissatisfied.
Lu Jingchuan half-stepped into the conference room. When he heard this, both parties felt embarrassed.
Gao Qian's eyes lit up the moment she saw him, and she walked over quickly. Just as she opened her mouth to say hello, she mistakenly saw Shen Zhinian beside him, and her face immediately darkened: "Secretary Shen is here too."
"Well, we just happened to meet each other." Shen Zhinian took over the main reception task familiarly and controlled the scene: "Then let's start the meeting after a little preparation."
Lu Jingchuan stretched out his hand to stop Shen Zhinian and nodded to Gao Qian: "Come here."
This is tantamount to affirmation of Gao Qian.
Gao Qian happily took over.
Shen Zhinian glanced at Lu Jingchuan, silently sat down next to him, and smoothed things over. Perhaps he was afraid that she was not ready, so he let Gao Qian take charge.
But after the meeting, Gao Qian took over the follow-up of the negotiations with the partners. Shen Zhinian was squeezed out like a marginalized person, looking at them helplessly.
Lu Jingchuan's eyes never fell on her after entering the door, and he handled official duties with a straight face.
After the negotiation was over, the group planned to leave the island.
After Gao Qian arranged all the seats, she pretended to be surprised and apologized to Shen Zhinian: "Secretary Shen, I'm sorry that there were only so many seats arranged when I came here. I may have to sit at the stern of the boat."
The strong wind and bumps at the stern of the boat were like hell for Shen Zhinian, who was pregnant.
Shen Zhinian glanced at Lu Jingchuan, who showed no reaction.
She put on a polite smile and refused: "It happens that my friends are on the island. I will go back with them later."
After saying that, he stepped back and gave way.
Lu Jingchuan grabbed her hand and said with a cold face, "Go back with me, there are still things to deal with."
"Don't you have a secretary?" Shen Zhinian made a pun.
But the man refused to give up and insisted on her getting on the boat.
This is not a boat, but to Shen Zhinian now, it is a torture instrument.
Thinking about the baby in her belly, Shen Zhinian shook her head and didn't want to go up. The other partners were already sweating, and they encountered such embarrassment twice on the same day.
When there was a stalemate, one of the partners stepped forward and said, "Secretary Shen is wearing thin clothes and I'm afraid of catching a cold due to the strong wind. Why don't you take my seat?"
It was hard for Shen Zhinian to shirk this situation, so Lu Jingchuan took over.
What a coincidence, this position is right next to Lu Jingchuan, Gao Qian's eyes turned red with hatred, and she secretly competed with him.
Although it was slightly calmer in the middle, it still couldn't relieve Shen Zhinian's feeling of vomiting. She clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into her flesh, trying hard to hold back the conflict of vomiting, her face looking ugly.
The other partners saw that her expression was wrong, and they wanted to care but were afraid of going too far, so they said to Lu Jingchuan: "Secretary Shen seems to be not feeling well. Do you need to see a doctor?"
Lu Jingchuan didn't even look back, and said with a cold face: "She is not a three-year-old child anymore. She knows whether she should see a doctor."
Shen Zhinian endured the discomfort and responded to the partner: "Thank you for your concern. I'm just not used to it. I'll just wait and see."
I don't know which sentence stepped on Lu Jingchuan's point of view, and the man's face became even darker.
The yacht was silent and the atmosphere was depressing.
Shen Zhinian's discomfort worsened due to the pressure, and she finally couldn't help but rushed out, found a trash can and vomited.
Lu Jingchuan's cheeks twitched, and he got up with a sullen face and followed him out.
